NETWORKING….. Your network is more than just a list of contacts—it’s a community of support, growth, and opportunity. In my journey as a Virtual Assistant, I've learned that meaningful connections open doors that skills alone cannot. By nurturing relationships, offering value, and staying engaged, you create a network that not only supports your career but also enriches your personal growth. Networking isn’t just about who you know; it’s about how you help each other grow. Let’s connect and build something great together.

Thought for the day: Networking is more than transactions; it's a journey of growth and learning. Connect with diverse perspectives, seek mentorship, and stay curious. Every interaction is an opportunity to learn, opening doors to new possibilities. Build genuine relationships and celebrate the power of networking. Tag someone who has influenced your journey!

Want your LinkedIn posts to perform their best? According to LinkedIn insiders, and my own experience, the winning format is a photo. Specifically, happy faces of your team. And best if it's at a physical event. So if you're at a conference or trade show, don't forget to snap away, tag, and share the joy with your network!

I tried a BD ting, I gave a professional access to my Linkedin to do cold reach outs for three months and here are some of the learnings from the process: 1. People don't give a shit and will not respond if your message doesn't catch their attention. Everybody's bombarded by these anyway. 2. Your network(irl) is your net worth, so get off your butt and go out to network. If you feel otherwise, tell me what's it that should be done?
